SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,873, dated September 15, 1903.

Application filed April 27, 1903. Serial No. 154,388. (No modeLl To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, CHRISTOPHER J. ARCHI- BALD, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Line Holders, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use lo the same.

The object of this invention is to provide improved means for supporting clothes-lines adapted to be connected with the windowframe or other structure and with a suitable I5 support at a distance therefrom; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in a device of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the folzo lowing specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of myimprovement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which- Figure lis a side elevation showing my improved support for clothes -lines and the method of using the same; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 a front View of one of the bow-shaped pieces forming part of my im- 3o proved support for clothes-lines.

vice c2, which in practice are connected with the hooks a2 and b2, as shown. Each of the parts c is forked at the lower end, as shown at c3, and provided with a double fork c4 at the upper end, in which are mounted two rollers c5, and the lower end is also provided with a roller c6. Mounted on one set of the rollers c5 is a cord or rope (Z, the ends of which are connected at cl2 in any desired manner, and mounted on the other set ot the rollers c5 and passing around the rollers c6 is another cord e, the ends of which are connected at e2 in any desired manner. As thus constructed it will be seen that clothes or other articles may be hung on the bottom reaches of both of the cords d and e and both of said cords may be pulled around the rollers on which they are placed in the usual manner.

My invention is not limited tothe exact details of the construction herein shown and described, and many changes therein and modilcations thereof may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacricing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 4 A clothes-line support comprising two separate bars or members provided centrally with attaching devices and adapted to be supported in a vertical position and provided at their upper ends with two rollers and at their lower ends with single rollers, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence ot the subscribing witnesses, this 25th day of April, 1903.
